alexdeprat Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 eBay is a weird place sometimes.....I usually sell stuff in bulk (car parts), because i am completely against silly prices for one item, but yes! Turbo manifold are getting a bit pricey... Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I paid a flat $100 bill for mine last year, and then my buddy offered to sell me his for $25 two days later...I wasn't too happy about that. Wish I'd bought it and flipped one of them now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I've heard that blax240 sells very clean quality parts and get's top prices. I know I posted about an R200 that he had cleaned up that sold for $200 for a 3.54 stock Turbo rear end. What gets me is his pics are only so, so, but that is just my opinion. I did the same thing as what he did and only pulled $102.00 for an identical item. Mine was absolutely beautiful when it was done with very detailed pics. Here was the R200 thread: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=127799 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Blake cleans up and paints everything he sells. It goes a long way. I think it (might be) a little disingenuous to call spraypainting a "coating", but hey, I don't begrudge him a dollar. His customers are happy.

capt_furious Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 That's the key to making a load of dough on eBay. Proper product presentation will net you far more money than a similar or even better item with lackluster presentation. Clear, detailed photos, a little cleanup on the item itself, and the item shown in an uncluttered or even relevant environment will attract buys far faster than a blurry photo or two and a little hastily written text. ...far too many people think eBay is a good gauge for what an item is worth; 'I saw *insert item here* sell for *insert absurd bidding-war inflated price here*, that's what they're worth and that's what I should get for mine.' Silly prices on eBay happen when two silly people fight over something and become less interested in the item and more interested in winning the auction. eBay IS a good market for the savvy seller or buyer that's done their homework and spends a little extra time to set things up right. If you're just looking for a good one-time deal on an obscure item, it's probably best to look elsewhere. I use it as a last stop for stuff I can't unload via word of mouth or craigslist.

SHO-Z Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I just bought one of those for $250 a couple of weeks ago, It also had a turbo motor, with every thing but the fuel rail and the mass air! I guess the exhaust manifold is the expensive part and all of the rest sell dirt cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
